My 1st Show On The Floor
It was my first Dead show with floor seats. Just left of the soundboard. The Omni was practically pulsating. Great crowd. Rocking out. Up in smoke. Alabama
...
Getaway was the highlight energy-wise. It was a fabulous end to the first set. Brought down the house. Killer setlist, just fabulous choices. Obviously not the tightest performance. Was an undergrad at Emory in the ATL at the time. Always will remember that night. For it's time and place, the sum was certainly better than parts.

This was my last show to see the band. I don't remember a ton about it thanks to the guys behind me that handed me something that changed the evening(

for the better) I realize they were not in great form but I was still in awe every time I was in the room with my idols. Omni acoustics were always terrible but living in Atlanta we didn't have much choice. They didn't play the Fox anymore.... Lucy was a nice treat that night and I remember the place was rocking.

tough years to see the band. First sets were short...often less than 50 minutes....the Sambas, Waves, Corrinas popped up to often. Being a Florida Deadhead it was great to see the Omni add shows over the years...from one night in 88 (right?) to 4 in 95. Parking lot was always fun at the Omni...sold beer to APD one year...all the heads staying at the Omni...the CNN/Omni hotel complex were ours during the GD runs in Atlanta (I heard Stone Mountain was great for the campers). I haven't said much about the show, frankly not a lot to say...an average effort at best. Not much I can say...China - Rider was probably the highlight, otherwise not a great set list and the performance matches the list.

Alabama, it seemed to go on forever, I was feeling in the groove, then, but I think we were all hoping for alot more. Still nice to make a showing in downtown Atlanta, its quite proverbial to see the old VW buses driving past these huge skyscrapers. Fun time, nonetheless. And to the listener above, you can download the other audience show on here, I admit the soundboards do sound super nice, but theres that magic of hearing the crowd, bring on the Matrix, I guess..

early '80's again). Schoolgirl was also a rare treat--look up how many times they played that post '60's. China>Rider nice smooth fun ride. Was this the Spectum run '89 I saw? No way. Was it just as fun being along for the ride? You bet

" How can I explain? It so hard to get on"
This is a FM SB so it has a very hissy high end, brings back memories of when I first started collecting tapes. The first set from FOTD through Broken
...
Arrow is very sweet and played very well, Queen Jane is exceptional. The China Cat builds up some good intensity but honestly LL Rain is where this shows really gets good. It is amazing version! Bobby's love song for us hard core heads. Samba is good and the He's Gone>TWBS is also noteworty but the jewel of the set is the Visons of Johanna.What makes this version a must listen is Jerry's nuances of which lyrics he emphasizes, giving a deeper insight to how he was feeling and his sense of humor. This song really encapsulates that and sadly I never heard it live. The guitar solo in it is must poetic and uplifting. The end of the set is very strong and Lucy is better than most versions,with only some minor lyrical flaws.

There's something about the Omni
I know Garcia's barely there and I know there's no comparison to any of the band's various heydays, and this may not even be the best show of the run,
...
but this is the China>Rider of '95 (which ain't saying much I guess). Shoreline's a close second. But this one sounds more hopeful; that maybe it's all gonna get better. It's far better than the last China>Rider I witnessed personally at Autzen Stadium in 1994. That was a travesty. This one, at least, has some juice. You can hear him struggling but at least he's not the somnabulant quitter of other shows. I can hear that he's awake and trying to get it on. It almost sounds as if the band is having fun. I also like the sound of this analog recording. It has a much rawer sound than some of the boards from this era on this site. Some are mixed so badly that they sound like Grateful Dead clones rather than the real thing. The audience tapes (as sub-standard as most of them were) at least present a more honest picture of how Cutler was mixing the group. Or at least how they sounded to us out there watching it all go not with a bang but a whimper. I'm almost ready to stop my troll through these declining years but not yet. After this is over I'm taking a nice little bath in '72 for a month! Or '74. Or '83 (another heroin period but for some reason he played much better)or '77 or '69 or...

is excellent in many, but they sound tired on this night. Sound is good, although it's an analog/FM source, with some compression and extra hiss. Still sounds good though.
